Rraegvoerrgh

Rraegvoerrgh, officially the Rraegvoerri Republic, is a sovereign state in the Maia world. It is located primarily in the Svurr continent, though the northern tip of its territory is considered part of Sonrisa. Rraegvoerrgh borders the Floressa Ocean to the north, and is otherwise surrounded by unincorporated territory.

Due to its extreme southerly location, over 80% of Rraegvoerrgh's territory is tundra and covered by ice year-round. The remaining 20% of the territory, located along the Rraegvoerri coast, is boreal forest. The north is generally low-lying, while the central and southern parts of the country are mountainous.

For much of their history, the ethnic Rraegvoerri people were nomadic hunter-gatherers. In the 19th century, a number of Rraegvoerri separated from their tribes and formed permanent, self-governing settlements along the coast. Khantsaeth Ook, leader of Aerzaazergh (now Aerz), the largest settlement, unified and centralized the city-states, forming the modern Rraegvoerri Republic in 1885. Many ethnic Rraegvoerri remain nomadic and often travel outside of Rraegvoerrgh's borders.

Due to its remote location, Rraegvoerrgh was largely isolated and had no relations with the rest of Maia. Even after organizing into a republic, it remained a closed society until it finally opened its borders in 1943. Rraegvoerrgh's unique culture and traditions are still considered very foreign to most of Maia. The current president, Tungval Khegh, has stated his desire to modernize Rraegvoerrgh and develop warmer relations with their Maian neighbors.
